I'm pleased to share that my review essay, 'Whiteness made visible: Recent Work in Premodern Critical Race Studies', has now been published in @postmedieval 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.105…

a BIG THANK YOU to the members of our editorial board who volunteered to be mentors, to the applicants who shared their work with us, and to everyone who circulated the cfp stay tuned for updates about the mentees' work and for the next iterations of the scheme!!

it was so great to see our mentees and mentors together—we are really excited to work with five wonderful scholars who are publishing in English for the first time and to support them as they develop their articles for publication

today we held an orientation meeting for /postmedieval/'s mentorship programme for EFL scholars!

in the issue you can also read five research articles and a dialogue on topics ranging from medievalism and eugenics, premodern trans* lives, caves, kisses and oral metaphors, as well as japanese calligraphy and disorder
